The other two finalists are Lady of Mazes by Karl Schroeder and Alphanauts by Brian J. Clarke. The award is presented by the Winnipeg Science Fiction Association and is named for Canada’s only SFWA grandmaster.

I couldn’t figure out who judges the nominees (or who shortlisted them). If it’s by popular vote, then Schroeder is likely, as he’s published by Tor. If, on the other hand, the judges have any taste whatsoever, The Other is a shoe-in.
